I bet you're one of those who can never keep a secret, huh?

What secret?!? I wasn't going to tell everyone 'bout your little winky.

Well, I'm on pins and needles waiting for it to get there........Oh jeez.
The woman that sold it to me (the gift) looked at me like I'm an asshole for not having the recipients phone number....If this person isn't home to receive it they are going to call me which is useless.Uh yea...I don't know the person that I sent this too, so uhhh, they should be home sometime after 6pm?Yea...I didn't tell the woman (sales clerk) that I didn't even know who I'm sending it to....it is a name and address I got and I just send stuff. Imagine the look I would have gotten then....

Well I'm looking forward to seeing the one I bought. This was my second choice gift. The first was a truly amazing (and cheap) MP3 player/FM radio/Voice Record combination that accepts SD cards in addition to it's scanty 128MB internal memory. I bought one at the QVC outlet and it's my favorite so far. It looks cheap, so I don't fear leaving it on a lounge chair while I hit the pool, but it has great sound (has built in equalizer) and accepts a 1GB card with no problem. So even including a $15 1GB SD card, the player would cost me less than $25. Even if someone did steal it, it's better than losing a $200+ Ipod.

The Emerson MP205, unfortunately, was no longer available at the QVC outlet store and I could not find it on-line. The one I got was less than $10 during their store sale, so I should have bought a few when I had the chance.

My 3rd choice was a Swiss army knife knockoff.

The 2nd choice was the one I went with. It's similar to something I own, but I used an on-line merchant I never used before, which is why I was worried. It's custom made, so I would love to see a picture of how it turned out.

This arrived for me on Wednesday. I apologize for not posting sooner, but I've been ill, etc.

This mug features art by our very own Case, in particular a painting called "progress." However, she tells me she is in fact not the sender.

Nice mug! I want one like it.

DanaC · 12-22-2007, 05:42 PM

Thats an exceedingly beautiful painting. Hot damn but that bird's talented.

monster · 12-22-2007, 09:21 PM

I like it

Clodfobble · 12-22-2007, 09:29 PM

That's a beautiful painting, and a very classy mug!

Be a shame to waste it on coffee/tea. Scotch or Bourbon, maybe.

Have been without a laptop for a while, so just signing in quickly to say my present arrived, and was opened yesterday (didn't want to take on public transport as my bag was heavy enough!)

Took pics all through the opening process and will post when back home. I received:
A really funky snowman ornament with blue sparkly glitter on it - I wish I'd opened it earlier when I saw it because it's so "me", it's on the tree now and will be every year from here on in. And two beautiful soaps which made the whole box smell gorgeous. And the handwritten message in the card made my eyes go a little blurry - it was so very kind.

Thank you my secret Santa, and no - I don't know who you are! Except that I don't think you have your location under your name on here, as the postmark was Tennessee (spelling?) and I don't remember seeing any Dwellar having that. Apologies if you have it up there bold as brass and I've just missed it!

Razzmatazz13 · 12-24-2007, 12:59 PM

Well? Out with it!

Sundae · 12-24-2007, 03:29 PM

I am jealous of the mug (as an addition to my present, not as a replacement I mean)

Then again I contemplated asking Case for a lay-away scheme (ie sending a few quid each month until I own it) for the picture with the hair. I don't have the $ but I do have a craving for beautiful and original art.
